The phrase/term "inbox zero" occupies a spot in my brain adjacent to "armor class zero" such that any time someone proudly announces they've emptied their unreads, I think of AD&D

Opposing counsel: I respect your practice model but don't you think representing people for whatever they can pay gives poor people an unfair advantage? How is it fair to my client when I'm charging them hourly?

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: distracted the drug dog because I had left cheese in my bag. Dog shoved his whole head in my backpack and I said “Uh, I have cheese…?” and the handler sighed deeply and waved me on.

35 years ago today, Ron Gilbert finalized the gold masters for Monkey Island. (They were labeled 1.1 because the game was sent back into testing during the final two weeks, prompting a version update upon its return). A defining moment that launched a legendary adventure!

My Abstract Algebra professor would tell the story that when people learned he was a mathematician they'd often say, "I'll bet you're really good with numbers!" And he'd respond with, "not really, but I'm GREAT with letters!" I don't think this is what they mean when they say gpt5 is at phd level...

Server owners and moderators, there's a beta feature that allows you to temporarily disable server members' ability to DM each other if they aren't already friends. You may want to enable it. The UI is only on mobile, but long press the server icon, tap more options, then Security Actions.

There's a Discord account hijacking campaign going on today, be extra vigilant about links being sent to you via DMs. Let's also not shame anyone who had the misfortune of being hit. They're already dealing with a lot as it is and no one is immune to an attack like this.
